Riyue Bay

Wanning, China
🌀Strong rips

Riyue Bay is China's flagship surf destination—a consistent beach break on tropical Hainan Island that hosts WSL Championship Tour events. The Chinese government has invested heavily in surf infrastructure here, building world-class facilities and promoting the sport. Typhoon swells and NE monsoon winds create regular waves during autumn and winter. China's surf culture is exploding, and Riyue Bay is ground zero for the mainland's wave-riding revolution.
